Doug,
This may sound rather simple, but I have always included the form or report name and date as a text field in both forms and reports, usually at the bottom in 8pt type. After making changes before I save the form or report, I just update the date. In addition to the latest date on the form, the name often helps in identifying a particular form or report if there is an issue, especially if there are multiple forms or reports with a similar appearance. Of course you could just display the form or report revision date only (perhaps even including the version number). Then the version number in DB Explorer becomes less important.

I append the version # in DB explorer that you've shown when I unload a form or report to transfer from development db to production: dbname_Form_FormNameV60.frm That prevents name collision and also serves as backups for the form (or report) if I really blow things up.

When I am working on and testing a form/report as I go along, every time I run the form/report from the designer after a change the form is saved (as it should be) and the version number is increased (again as it should be) by one and by the time I am done it might be on version 50 or 60 even when I am on only the second version of the upgraded form. It would be handy to have a versioning system where various iterations of the form could be saved with the same name but a different user version number and one could be selected to run as default when the form/report name is called and one could go back to previous version if the new one has issues.…makes sense? Just thinking aloud… Probably will be in the next update.

Is there a property to get the version number of a form or report? (I couldn't find one in RDocs). Version # doesn't show in a form Ctrl-Alt-I. It would be helpful in a development situation where I'm working on a form and I need to check to make sure the production db has the most recent form.
